Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny

Repetition has a way of making things sound true, but what's trending isn't always entirely true.

That's what Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson dive into as they give us a sneak peek of the new sermon series, Trends vs. Truth. This five-part series looks at these popular sayings: "God Told Me," "Be You," "Love Is Love," "Who Am I to Judge?" and "Self-Care."

As is often the case when Pastor Mike and Amber get together, we learn more than we bargained for! We see how idealistic young Amber was ("I had huge dreams and didn't do any of them."); Pastor Mike's eyebrow test; how it's a compliment to call Amber a potato (seriously!); and how, according to Pastor Mike, comparison is essential.

Trends vs. Truth kicks off this Sunday, April 30.
